Residents at Coppice Lodge Care Home in Nottingham enjoyed an uplifting afternoon of live entertainment this week as singer Rebecca Lomas returned to perform a selection of classic jazz favourites.
Staff and residents gathered together in the home’s lounge for an intimate live performance. Rebecca delighted the audience with a set of well-loved jazz songs, encouraging residents to sing along, clap, and dance throughout.
The atmosphere was filled with joy and nostalgia as residents responded enthusiastically to the music, recognising familiar tunes and sharing memories sparked by the performance. Even songs that were less familiar still got toes tapping and smiles all around.
Music plays an important role in enhancing wellbeing at Coppice Lodge, helping to create meaningful moments of connection between residents and staff.
Abbie Moth, Wellbeing & Activities Coordinator at Coppice Lodge, said: “Music really is a wonderful way to connect with residents, and nothing is quite as powerful as having a live singer in the room. We’ve had Rebecca in a few times before and she never fails to get everyone singing and dancing along.”
Resident Irene Dowdell also shared her enjoyment of the afternoon, saying:“It’s all old music, so you must think that you know this song, and it’s nice to hear it again.”
